I find this show enjoyable, but I have a hard time believing that they're portraying teenagers. They should have put the characters in college; I don't know why every YA themed book/TV show needs their main characters to be sixteen years old.

My main problem with shows/movies/books like this in the YA genre is that the premise has a lot of potential but it's completely squandered with bad writing, focusing on the wrong elements, and in this case, casting people more for their level of attractiveness to the target audience than actually being able to act/emote. This show is such a mess but could be promising if the idea had originated in more capable hands.

So true. The parallels to Roswell are a tad ridiculous. I am a big fan of Roswell and that was originally why I tuned in, to see how similar Star-Crossed would be to it out of curiosity. This may just be my nostalgia talking but Roswell was better.

Roman/Emery are insufferable. They have zero chemistry and Aimee doesn't have chemistry with anyone on the show. I like some of the supporting characters but also feel like they aren't doing enough with them.

Also it really bugs me how they keep changing the rules of just how 'free' the Atrian 7 are outside the Sector. Sometimes, they are closely monitored and it's a huge deal. Sometimes, they can slip away unnoticed for hours at a time and no one seems to notice.
